SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGERS

A heat transfer shell and tube heat exchanger play a vital role in oil refineries and other industrial applications. Shell and tube heat exchangers are instruments that are used to transport heat between single or multiple fluids. Heat exchangers consist of a series of tubes known as tube bundles. These bundles have liquids that need to be cooled or heated. Shell exchangers allow for efficient heat transfer and energy conservation. 

BEPeterson is your single-source technical solutions provider. We have a team of professionals who design, engineer and manufacture heat exchangers consisting of shells and tubes. We focus on providing heat exchanger fabrication services that adhere to industrial standards.
